SYRINGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters ZE atent N 0. 659,130, datedOctober 2, 1900. Application filed November 17, 1899. Serial lilo.737,310. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. BUCKLIN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in thecounty and State of New York, have invented a newand Improved Syringe,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates particularly to syringes for injecting medicineinto the female organ; and the object is to provide a syringe of thischaracter with a tapered enlargement at its outer end adapted to enterthe mouth of the vagina forming a plug or stopper to prevent any outflowof liquid while the instrument is in use, and, further, to adaptthe saidenlargement for holding medicine to be used, the medicine being intablets or otherwise.

I will describe a syringe embodying myinvention and then point out thenovel features in the appended claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both views.

Figure l is a longitudinal section of a syringe embodying my invention,and Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 20f Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, l designates the barrel of the syringe, inwhich the piston 2 operates. At the outer end portion of the barrel isan enlargement 3, which is longitudinally tapered from the barreloutward, so that it may enter and tightly close the mouth of the vaginaand effectually prevent the outflow of any injected liquid. Thisenlarged portion is made-hollow, thus forming a container for doses ortablets of medicine, and it is provided with a cover 4, which,conveniently, is made in the form of a flange on the gland 5, having ascrew-thread engagement with the barrel of the syringe. The gland iscup-shaped and is made integral with the flange, so that both can beremoved or applied together, and also by making the parts in one piecethe cost to manufacture is very much reduced as compared to devices forthe purpose inade in separate parts. When the cover is removed, a tabletof in edioine may be easily discharged from the container, and as theend of the barrel projects beyond the end of the container there will beno danger of a tablet falling into the barrel should the piston beWholly drawn out.

Having thus described my invention, I

' claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A syringe,comprising a barrel, a hollow enlarged and longitudinally-taperedcontainer at the upper end portion of the barrel and integral therewith,the end of the barrel being extended beyond the end of the container, acup-shaped gland for the syringe-piston stem and adapted to engage withthe barrel, and a flange on the gland serving as a cover for thecontainer, the flange and gland being integral, substantially asspecified.

In witness whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES A. BUOKLIN.
